“…MRSA infections can also be treated with oral medications, such as doxycycline, linezolid, cotrimoxazole, pristinamycin, clindamycin, and rifampicin-fusidic acid [101]. Mupirocin (Bactroban) can also be used in MRSA infection [102]. A new antibiotic called platensimycin has also been shown to be effective against MRSA [103].…”

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an opportunistic bacterium that can cause infection in animals and humans. Recently, MRSA from food-producing or farm animals has been identified as livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA). The spread of LA-MRSA is particularly found in pork and pork products because LA-MRSA has been widely known to infect pigs. The most common type of LA-MRSA identified in pork and pork products is the clonal complex LA-MRSA 398 (LA-MRSA CC398). The MRSA strains on the surface of pork carcasses can be spread during the handling and processing of pork and pork products through human hands, cutting tools, and any surface that comes into direct contact with pork. Food infection is the main risk of MRSA in pork and pork products consumed by humans. Antibiotics to treat food infection cases due to MRSA infection include vancomycin and tigecycline. The spread of MRSA in pork and pork products is preventable by appropriately cooking and cooling the pork and pork products at temperatures above 60°C and below 5°C, respectively. It is also necessary to take other preventive measures, such as having a clean meat processing area and disinfecting the equipment used for processing pork and pork products. This review aimed to explain epidemiology, transmission, risk factors, diagnosis, public health consequences, treatment of food poisoning, and preventing the spread of MRSA in pork and pork products.

“…So according to this study the number of community acquired MRSA causing pyodermas are increasing .This correlates with various other studies on MRSA. [11][12][13] Only one isolate of the family Enterobacteriacea was obtained which is Citrobacter amalonaticus. Two isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was obtained.…”

Background: Pyoderma is a leading cause of childhood infection, which also affects the adults with a changing trend of antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the bacterial agent. A study on the bacteriological profile of pyoderma and its antibiotic sensitivity pattern is beneficial as it is the first study of its kind in this study centre. The main objective of the study was to find the bacteriological profile and the antibiotic sensitivity pattern of the isolates.Methods: A descriptive study was conducted during a one year period at Government medical college, Kottayam, India. 150 cases were studied. Data was collected to assess the risk factors. Pus collected from the site of infection was cultured, the organisms were identified and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern was found by conventional methods. Results: There were 173 isolates obtained from 150 patients. The predominant isolate obtained was Staphylococcus aureus including 13% of MRSA, followed by Beta hemolytic Streptococci. Other isolates obtained were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Citrobacter amalonaticus.Conclusion: The most common organism causing pyoderma is found to be Staphylococcus aureus which include 13.3% of MRSA. The next common isolate obtained is Beta hemolytic Streptococci. 38 cases showed mixed infections including few gram negative bacilli. So this study emphasizes the need for pus culture and sensitivity which facilitates the appropriate usage of antimicrobial agents which can prevent emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Background: Pyodermas, one of the most common clinical conditions encountered in dermatological practice in all age groups, are further classified into primary (including superficial and deep) and secondary. Bacterial infections occurring in preexisting dermatoses constitute secondary pyodermas and comprise infected eczemas/scabies/foot ulcers, surgical site infections and others. Objectives: This study was carried out to evaluate the clinical, epidemiological, and bacteriological features of secondary pyodermas in a tertiary hospital and document the various patterns of antibiotic resistance. Materials and Methods: This observational study was conducted on 101 consecutive cases of secondary pyodermas, both outpatients and inpatients, of a tertiary care hospital, over a period of 12 months. Clinicoepidemiological data was recorded, and pus samples were collected using sterile swabs for microbiological testing. Results: Diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity (n = 50). Of the total cases of secondary pyodermas, thirty (29.7%) were diabetic foot ulcers, and most lesions were of 2–5 cm size (n = 47), present for a duration of <1 week (n = 39), followed by 1–6 weeks (n = 35). Methicillin Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (n = 38) among Gram-positive bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 17) among Gram-negative bacteria were the most common organisms isolated. A high percentage of isolates exhibited antibiotic resistance, with Gram-positive bacteria showing resistance to Ciprofloxacin, Amoxycillin with Clavulanic acid, and Clindamycin but susceptibility to Linezolid, Cloxacillin, and Doxycycline. Among the Gram-negative isolates, there was antibiotic resistance toward most groups. Conclusion: As multi-drug resistance is an emerging concern, knowledge of associated comorbid conditions and documenting bacterial isolates and their sensitivity patterns becomes increasingly important.
